Following a chase of four males in a car — suspects in a stolen vehicle — police said all four fled on foot. Police told City News that officers were attempting to locate carjack suspects who stabbed the car owner. (They said the man was taken to a hospital, treated and released.)

Solorio’s mother insist her son was at his girlfriend’s birthday party before he was shot.

A teary Morfin said, “My son was shot in the back. He was handcuffed. He was down on the floor. His sister witnessed the sheriff’s kicking my son. My daughter started screaming at them, ‘It’s my brother. He’s only 17-years-old.”

Police said two of the four suspects escaped.

No gun was recovered but police said one of the suspects had a screwdriver.
